Trade talk - from September 2025 (Part 9)

The rebuild crew

I’m old enough to remember a time when our supporters were generally happy to welcome a new player to our club - especially one with other suitors. We knew Robram and Alvey and co. were no worldbeaters but we were a welcoming enough group to embrace them and congratulate them on choosing the best colours around. I am very disappointed at some of what I’m reading. You can express surprise or doubt, but the reception from some has been a bit much.

Is that a Bob the Builder knock-off show?

Give him credit, he’s finally moved on from “a team of 18 year olds”.

What this crap that Tom Morris just reported on 9 news about Essendon having a drug problem and that some of the players weren’t happy with Vozzo and complained to the AFLPA

I believe @Aceman said that he didn’t want a single player over the age of 20 at the club. Isn’t that right Nino.

If he’s accusing players of using drugs, he had better have proof.

I know a family member of one of our Essendon VFL players personally who obviously mix with our AFL players and he has tried to tell me a few times in the last 18 months that this is fact (the party boy, drug culture thing). Didn’t know how much to believe it but there ya go, doesn’t surprise me.

I mean the truth is, all clubs have players doing drugs. I guess it’s all about how hard they’re going relative to every one else and what %. Especially in-season.

You don’t need any evidence you just have

To say reportedly or a reliable source

It’s morris guilty until proven innocent

Sounds like we’re making a late play for Clarry
